This facility, located in San Sebastian and an integral part of CIC-biomaGUNE, officially opened in 2006. It features a variety of equipment, including a cyclotron capable of producing diverse positron-emitting isotopes, a fully equipped radiochemistry laboratory with versatile automated synthesis modules and state-of-the-art quality control equipment, a hybrid PET/CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography) scanner, a hybrid SPECT/CT (single photon emission tomography-computed tomography) scanner with energy discrimination, two high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners (11.7 and 7 Tesla), and a fluorescence imaging machine. The facilities also include an animal facility focusing on small rodents.
The infrastructure has been designed, built and equipped to carry out longitudinal and multimodal research projects in the preclinical field, as well as to develop applications in the areas of Preclinical Molecular and Functional Imaging and Nanomedicine.
